[opensuse] Installing vmware server under 10.3
by Greg Freemyer 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

All, I'm trying to follow http://en.opensuse.org/Setting_up_VMware_on_SUSE_Linux It is not a perfect match with what I'm trying to do: 10.3 (64-bit) vmware server (1.0.4) http://register.vmware.com/content/download.html I installed the pre-reqs called for including the kernel source. Then the downloaded vmware server rpm. Next when I try to run ./runme.pl I get an error about "include/version.h" being missing and that perhaps I need to compile the kernel before continueing. Seems like a big step to be missing, so I'm hoping for some guidance.

[opensuse] No matter what I try can't get sound working (was blacklist modules for the onboard audio card)
by Aniruddha 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

No matter what I try I can't get an audigy card working in openSUSE 10.3. The card worked before in PCLinuxOS and works in Windows. I tried configuring the card in yast2, with alsaconf and blacklisting of the onboard soundcard. Who knows what else I can try? Here is some more information: # lspci 00:0c.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS .... 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 A C97 Audio Controller (rev 60) # cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist # User blacklist blacklist snd_via82xx -- Regards, Aniruddha Please adhere to the OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Online upgrades
by Stan Goodman 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

I have had the online upgrade running (mentioned in previous messages) for several hours now. It is glacially slow (as predicted by a note in the process's window). Aside from that, It has a curious behavior: Things continue until the Total Progress gauge gets up to near 50%, then an announcement appears, telling me that it can't find Disk 0. There _is_ no Disk 0, the openSuSE disks start with 1. Offered the choice of "OK", "Abort", and "Ignore", I pressed "OK", because none of them is terribly informative. That drove Total Progress down to 20% and Package Progress Download to 0%. Now it has again arrived at the same advanced state, I have said "OK", and back we are at 20% Total Progress for the third time (counting from the beginning. I'm sure it will do the same thing again when it arrives at the same point, whereupon I will tell it to abort. I'm assuming that it will abort only that package ("java-1.5.0-sun...") and go on to better things while I am sleeping (which I am going to do rather soon). Why is this happening? What is it really saying when it complains that it can't find a nonexistent disk? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel >From REAL answers on children's science examinations (#4): Q: How can you delay milk turning sour?

[opensuse] 10.3:order of software repositories
by Eberhard Roloff 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hi, I am working with 10.3/32 bit. First of all congratulations to the best linux that I ever saw. Much easier, many things much quicker (look at package management) and overall it is polished greatly, I am amazed. Now: I installed from DVD and after the install I copied the DVD as an iso to my harddisk and configured this iso to be another software repository. Anything trouble free and very easy to do. However I am working with a rather limited internet connection, both in regard to speed and volume. Now, my impression is that although many files are on the DVD (iso), very often, the Internet repositories are queried and used for downloading. Two questions: Is this assumption correct? How can I enforce that whatever I want to install, the iso is used firstly and only when there is nothing or something old on it, the other online repositories are used. In other words, I want to have as many repositories as I need, but I want the iso to be used, whenever possible. I vaguely remember that in previous versions you could move the configured repos up or down, thus prioritizing them, if I recall correctly. Thanks very much for help and kind regards Eberhard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kerberos authentication and 10.3 issues
by Christopher Dick 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

I am attempting to do kerberos authentication with my 10.3 install. I followed the directions here: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Authenticating-Linux-Ac… in 10.2 and everything was fine. However, the pam_unix2.conf file that these directions reference doesn't seem to be there in 10.3. After configuring the kerberos client in YaST, the directions at the above site say to add the following to pam_unix2.conf in /etc/security: auth: use_krb5 nullok account: use_krb5 password: use_krb5 nulllok session: none However, the pam_unix2.conf file that these directions reference doesn't seem to be there in 10.3. The last time I jacked around with the various files in /etc/pam.d, I couldn't log in with either my user ID or root. I won't do that in a total knowledge vacuum anymore. My kerberos config is correct, I am assuming, because when I issue a "kinit" command and provide my password, I am issued a ticket. However, I am not issued a ticket at my initial login. I am not looking to join the domain, merely authenticate against the AD, as I was able to do previously. Any help is greatly appreciated. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a deal? Find great prices on flights and hotels with Yahoo!

[opensuse] "Software Updater"
by Stan Goodman 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

I have an icon in my panel that tells me that four software updates are waiting for me. Software Updater says that these are three Java 1.5.0 packages and another for RealPlayer v10. Clicking on the <Update> button causes the utility to tell me that it is "preparing software", and it keeps doing that for twenty minutes -- no less, after which is announces that it can't download rhe RealPlayer package from <ftp://mirrors.netbg.com/.....>. If I uncheck the RealPlayer package, another twenty-minute wait gets me the further information that one of the Java packages can't be updated either. I am assuming that the reason for this is that it is not looking in the right place. In "Services" page of the utility's configuration notebook, the only remote source is <ftp://mirrors.netbg.com/opensuse/distributions/o> (Type: ZYPP and Active). There is a way to add many other services, but I do not know which types to add or from what servers. Unsurprisingly, Software Updater is not equiped with a Help facility.
